Also, of all
the most skilled players the Jazz have, they have three competent point guards
who all know the offense and can distribute. So of all the front line players
to have out for an extended period, having it be Mo arguably hurts them less,
tho' with their 'tweeners, they also have a lot of depth (if no star)
in the 2-3 roles. But only two deep at the 4 & 5.

Tinsley, at
least at this stage of his career is not a great shooter. But he seems to shoot
3's as well or better than mid-range jumpers and hope he does most of his
shooting practice outside the arc.

With more minutes to distribute
from the bench, altho' he plays a different position, I'd like to see
more of what Burks would do with more minutes on more nights, though that places
pressure on Carroll, Williams, Hayward and Foy.

I thought I
remembered reading that Foy also has PG skills and some experience, but
I've never seen play that role for the Jazz and don't know if he
practices the position. Anyone know something I don't?

1)
Gordon Hayward is the only player on the team who plays defense.2) Gordon
Hayward is the best offensive option on the team.3) Al Jefferson is indeed
a black hole, he cannot pass, any ball that goes to him never comes back out. He
should be traded immediately.

1) start Hayward, Millsap, Kanter Roy
Williams and Favors2) trade Al Jefferson immediately, he's not needed
and he hurts the team3) these guys can play defense but I'm not sure
Corbin requires it. Come on coach, demand they play tough defense, every night,
every game, every player.4) offensive rebounding does not really exist on
this team, nobody even hits the offensive board, everybody heads down the
floor--somebody must go for the offensive rebounds!5) and free throw
shooting? good grief, these are mature pros, most have played high school and
college basketball and are now pros--and they can't hit a free throw? The
Jazz probably should have lost to Orlando because of their horrid free throw
shooting. This team is not good enough to win without hitting free throws.

This
teams MO is to fall behind in the first quarter, catch up in the second, fall
behind in the third, and come from behind in the fourth. What is the common
thread: the first team will not play a lick of defense and they normally want to
shoot 3s. The second team plays defense, passes, and hustles.

My
solution is simple... keep Jefferson, Foye, and Milsap on the bench until they
decide to put a little effort into stopping the other guys.

@dumprakeYeah I'm not sure you've watched the Jazz that closely.
Gordon Hayward is neither the best offensive or defensive player on the team. He
is good at both and hopefully will continue to improve but not the best at this
point. Your take on offensive rebounding is completely wrong. The Jazz average
13.4 offensive rebounds per game which is 3rd best in the league. The Jazz shoot
over 76% from the free throw line which is a little better than average in the
league. The Jazz rank 14th in the league but are within a percentage point of
being in the top 10.

It's pretty hard to come up with very
strong conclusions by just watching "a few games".
